BactPC (Bacteriocin Prediction and Classification) is a web-based tool developed as part of Rakshaana Behum K's B.Sc.
final year internship project at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research under the guidance of Dr Abhinand P. A.
This project spanned over a period of 3 months and aimed to provide a comprehensive solution for the prediction and classification of bacteriocins.
Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which hold great potential as alternative therapeutic agents against
pathogenic bacteria. However, accurately predicting and classifying bacteriocins is a complex task due to their diverse sequences
and functional properties. BactPC aims to overcome this challenge by utilizing advanced machine learning algorithms.
Prediction of Bacteriocin Activity BactPC employs state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to predict the bacteriocins. By submitting a peptide sequence, users can obtain predictions on its antimicrobial effects. |
Classification into Functional Classes BactPC classifies bacteriocins into specific functional classes based on their dipeptide composition. This classification aids in understanding the potential mode of action and functional characteristics of bacteriocins. |
User-Friendly Interface BactPC offers a user-friendly web interface, allowing researchers and scientists to easily navigate and utilize its features. The intuitive design ensures a smooth user experience, enabling efficient analysis and interpretation of bacteriocin data. |
Real-Time Results BactPC provides real-time results, allowing users to quickly obtain predictions and classification outcomes for submitted peptide sequences. |
"We hope that BactPC will serve as a valuable tool for researchers, scientists, and academicians working in the field of bacteriocin research. It aims to accelerate the discovery of novel bacteriocins, enhance our understanding of their functional properties, and contribute to the development of alternative antimicrobial strategies."
